Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Then rest a little longer."

Xiao Zhan said gently: "Rest assured, I will go to court for you."

Jiang Xue was slightly startled: "Weren't you the one who insisted on my attending court every morning? Why are you being so lenient today?"

"The demands on a princess are naturally different from the care you give to your beloved."

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'll bring you some little surprises."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan left the palace in a happy mood.

At this time in the morning court, the ministers noticed that the usually serious Xiao Zhan had a barely noticeable smile on his face today, which seemed to indicate that there was new progress in his relationship with Princess Yunchu of the Eastern Prime Minister.

After leaving the court, Feng Ziqing noticed the change in Xiao Zhan, so she kept him and asked, "Xiao Zhan, are you in a particularly good mood today?"

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but hid the joy in his heart.

Xiao Zhan responded softly: "Even the Queen Mother noticed it. It seems that I was indeed too obvious."

The Queen Mother asked curiously, "Why are you so happy? Share it with me and make me happy too."

"I'm sure the Queen Mother will be happy to see my happy event," he said implicitly.

Feng Ziqing couldn't help but ask: "What makes you so happy?"

"Yesterday I received a box of precious books. These books are the fruits of the efforts of ancient wise men on state governance, and some of them are rare and unique.

They will be priceless treasures for Your Majesty, and studying them from a young age will surely benefit you greatly. That is why I am so pleased."

Those books were gifts Jiang Xue specially prepared for the emperor, and now she finally has the chance to present them.

Hearing this, Feng Ziqing showed a satisfied smile on her face:

"Such good things are indeed joyful. Xiao Zhan, the emperor's studies depend entirely on you."

"This is my duty."

After leaving Zhaode Hall, Xiao Zhan was eager to return home because his beloved was waiting for him there.

After Jiang Xue returned home, she felt unwell all over and asked someone to prepare hot water for a bath.

When she saw the marks on her body from last night's intimacy with Xiao Zhan, her face couldn't help but blush.

She still remembered clearly that when he held her last night, he tenderly kissed every scar on her body. His actions made her understand that he really loved her.

While meditating in the warm water, Fu Dong suddenly came to report: "Princess, the Prime Minister is here."

As soon as Fu Dong finished speaking, Xiao Zhan pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Xue hurriedly put on a thin shirt, trying to cover her body which was not yet fully dressed.

“Yun Che, what are you doing?” she asked, with a hint of nervousness and embarrassment in her voice.

At this time, she was only wearing thin clothes, with wet hair hanging on her shoulders, looking lazy and charming.

This scene reminded him of the intimate moment they had last night. The deep affection in their eyes seemed to ignite everything.

Jiang Xue was no longer an ignorant girl. She clearly understood the deep affection in Xiao Zhan's eyes, and quickly put on a thick coat and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Didn't I tell you before the morning court that I would bring you some snacks after the court?" Xiao Zhan explained.

"Oh, what is it?" Jiang Xue was curious.

He took out an oil-paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xue, saying, "It's still hot."

When I opened it, I found it was plum blossom cake. Because it was close to my body, the cake still had its temperature and was warm and delicious.

"Is this the plum blossom cake from the shop I love the most?"

Jiang Xue was surprised. She thought she would never be able to taste this familiar flavor again in her life. She didn't expect him to bring it with him specially.

"Yes, I remember you did."

Xiao Zhan said gently: "I bought it as soon as I got up this morning."

Jiang Xue put down the cake and shook her head gently:

"Yun Che, you've been so good to me. You gave up everything in Beiling and came to Qian Country with me to clean up Qian Country's mess. But I have nothing to repay you."

"What I have now is the best reward." Xiao Zhan replied.

Xiao Zhan held her in his arms: "Xiaoxue, you are the best reward God has given me. You are the one who deserves my love for you all my life."

Facing his kiss, Jiang Xue raised her head and responded without hesitation. She hugged Xiao Zhan tightly. She realized that her body, like her heart, could not refuse the intimacy he gave her.

Xiao Zhan brought her back to the bed and continued the intimacy.

In the entanglement, Jiang Xue tried to resist and turned over to press him down. The two entangled each other in the battlefield of love, and finally fell asleep exhausted...

As night fell, Xiao Zhan woke up from his sleep and lit the candles in the house.

Jiang Xue also tried to get up, but the pain in her body made her give up the idea.

"Little Snow."

Xiao Zhan smiled gently: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, I'm just tired."

Jiang Xue replied: "And I felt sticky and uncomfortable."

"I'll ask the servants to prepare some hot water." Xiao Zhan suggested.

"Okay." Jiang Xue responded. After they both finished washing up, Xiao Zhan took Jiang Xue to the study.

Xiao Zhan took out a note from a book and handed it to Jiang Xue.

"Then look at what this is?"

It was the note in the brocade bag she hung on the wishing tree in the Guanyin Temple, on which was written her deepest wish - Yun Che.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan found it.

"How did you get it? This is indeed written by me."

Jiang Xue explained: "You always loved to go against me in the past. At that time, I just hoped that you would stop going against me in the future. I didn't mean anything else."

"What about this?"

Xiao Zhan showed another note: "I found this in the notebook in your study. Do you remember it?"

Jiang Xue took the note and memories flooded back to her mind.

Jiang Xue will never forget the pile of wonderful storybooks that Xiao Zhan gave her on her eleventh birthday.

She was so happy at the time that she even put a note in the book saying that she would marry him when she grew up.

Later, due to national affairs, she put those books aside, but the gratitude she had for them was kept deep in her heart.

"That was just some kid's nonsense."

Xiao Zhan once thought that Jiang Xue fell in love with Lan Feng because of jealousy and misunderstanding.

However, when he found the note in the old book, the past came flooding back to him.

He realized his misunderstanding, so he planned a trip to the Guanyin Temple and asked Jiang Xue to write down her wishes and hang them on the wishing tree.

That night, he secretly took down all the wish notes, and when he saw her handwritten words, his heart was filled with joy. It turned out that she had always loved him in her heart.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, keep talking. I'm willing to listen."

Jiang Xue smiled: "Okay, I admit that I like you, always have."

Since we understand each other, why not join hands to face future challenges?

She wanted to protect her country, but also wanted Xiao Zhan to be with her. Maybe if she persisted, she could really achieve the best of both worlds.

Xiao Zhan hugged her tightly: "Xiaoxue, I will always be with you."
